“…Van der Putte described a distinctive variant of cutaneous glands (12). In normal histology, the sebaceous glands are predominantly present on the medial surface of the labia majora with or without hair follicles.…”

“…Apocrine and eccrine sweat glands are generally only found in hair-bearing areas (13). Van der Putte preferred to call these lesions mammary-like anogenital sweat glands rather than ectopic breast tissue that combine features of eccrine and apocrine glands (12). These glands showed the capacity to branch into lobuli and to form acini-like mammary glands.…”

Ectopic breast tissue can occur anywhere along the primitive embryonic milk line and can be the site of the same pathologic processes found in the normal breast. Phyllodes tumor is an extremely rare fibroepithelial neoplasm that occurs in ectopic breast tissue of the vulva. To date, only 8 cases of phyllodes tumor in the vulva have been reported in the literature. This paper presents two additional case of benign phyllodes tumor in the vulva. The first patient was a 43-year-old woman, presenting with a lesion on the left anterior mons pubis that had increased in size in the last three months. The second patient was a 50-year-old woman, presenting with a two-month history of a mass in the right labium majus. The patients underwent excisional biopsy. The histological examination of both specimens revealed a characteristic pattern of benign phyllodes tumor. In conclusion, the pathologists need to be aware that the lesion can occur in this location. Herein, the concepts about the histogenesis of phyllodes tumor in the vulva are discussed and a brief review of the previously reported cases is given. Key Words: Vulva, Phyllodes tumor ÖZEktopik meme dokusu ilkel embriyonik sütyolu boyunca herhangi bir yerde ortaya çıkabilir ve normal memede izlenebilen aynı patolojik durumlar ektopik meme dokusunda da görülebilir. Fillods tümör vulvadaki ektopik meme dokusunda oluşan nadir bir fibroepitelyal neoplazidir. Literatürde bugüne kadar 8 olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu makalede literatüre ek olarak iki ayrı vulvar fillods tümör vakası sunulmuştur. İlk olgu, sol ön mons pubiste boyutu son üç ayda artış gösteren bir lezyon ile kliniğe başvurmuş 43 yaşında kadın hastadır. İkinci olgu 50 yaşında kadın hasta olup, iki aydır varolan sağ labium majusta kitle ile başvurmuştur. Mevcut lezyonlara eksizyonel biopsi yapılmış ve örneklerin patolojisi benign fillods tümör ile uyumlu rapor edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, fillods tümörün vulva lokalizasyonunda da karşılaşabilecek bir antite olduğu unutulmamalıdır. Burada, vulvar fillods tümörün histogenezi ile ilgili kavramlar tartışılmış ve olgularımız daha önce bildirilen olgular eşliğinde sunulmuştur.

“…The breasts and the vulva are so widely separated by time and space that the vulvar MLG cannot be derived from the mammary ridges or milk lines. The profile of the MLG, which can also reveal some apocrine or eccrine features, makes these glands the most likely source of a series of lesions occurring in the anogenital region and comprising of lactating glands, lactating adenoma, fibroadenoma, hidrocystoma, hidradenoma pappiliferum, and most cases of extramammary Paget's disDeb, Swarup and Mishra ease and invasive adenocarcinoma [10].…”

“…The concept of vulvar lesions derived from milk lines rudiments has recently been challenged by the incidental identification of anogenital sweat glands in the interlabial sulcus [2,5]. These are related to eccrine or apocrine glands, being composed of mammary-like ducts with a prominent basement membrane and a dense or loose stromal cuff [2,5].…”

“…Relatively recent studies have found that the tumors previously thought to be apocrine are currently considered as derived from anogenital mammary-like glands and are termed mammary-like glands adenomas [5,6]. The locations are similar to the common distribution of mammary-like glands (labia minora, labia majora, fourchette, and clitoris) [6].…”

Fibroadenomas of anogenital mammary-like glands: from embryogenesis anomaly to apocrine origin

Mammary-like anogenital fibroadenomas are rare entities within the wide spectrum of female genital pathology. Our paper provides an up-to-date review, by systematization of the concepts and controversies, from the origin to the development and the diagnosis of the lesion. The theories pertaining to its histogenesis incorporate its debated origin of ectopic mammary-derived lesions, of cutaneous apocrine, eccrine, sebaceous, and mammary-like anogenital glands. Although rare, both clinicians and pathologists should consider this lesion type within the differential diagnosis of anogenital pathology, regardless of the woman's age, and pathological confirmation is mandatory to exclude the possibility of other tumours, including malignancy. Immunohistochemistry may represent a useful tool in tumor characterisation and in differential diagnosis.
